comments:
I've noticed a few more recent Derek Trucks Band recordings on dime lately, and thoought, gee I have
one DTB master, that's not so recent any more, it came out pretty well, and it's from just about the
ideal place in this area to hear Derek Truck Band play live. Gilrein's is Worcester's home for blues music.
so why not post it? (now that I know how?)
This is a full night's fun with the Derek Trucks Band, and I believe a then 19 year old Derek Trucks
on guitar. I know I tried to do this another time with the same recording setup, at the same place and
couldn't do it because I was sold out, couldn't get in! I think that was 1999, if not if was the year
before but I think it was the year after because there were more people there that time than this one.
There were plenty of people at this show which I recorded from the audience and broadcasted on WCUW radio.
Gilrein's is THE classic blues club of Worcester and even this early on it was obvious that Derek Trucks
had interest and talent in the blues. Even though the drummer said his name twice, I still couldn't
understand what he said.
It took him awhile to understand Worcester isn't part of Boston, but he learned eventually.
I'd still like to find the 1999 Gilrein's show if someone has it. I heard some of it from the street
outside. I don't know how he feels now about it, but at this time Derek was totally cool about being
recorded in the audience and even seemed grateful that I wanted to record him and broadcast it. The
setup in Gilrein's is not exactly ideal for recording this way, but I think I got the mikes out of the
crowd's way and in line with the sound system well enough to get a decent enough recording for radio.
Glasnost Radio Productions recorded over 200 shows from 1991 up to early 2001, for this same purpose.
Some never got broadcasted (recording problems, bad performance, artist didn't want it shared, ect.)
many that were broadcasted were heard in staticy, clicky, popping or otherwise severely impaired FM
radio reception of a circa-PT 109 era 100 watt tube tramsmitter. It is my intent with the help of the
Almighty Dime, to share some of the best of these recordings sounding the way I recorded them. As
they were meant to be heard. the near-constant poor reception problems of that tired old thing
ruined almost all of WCUW's programming for most of the station's now 34 year history (it's a nonprofit,
commercial-free, non-network, listener supported station)
Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
